My best friend Susie and her husband live North of us deeper in the woods than we are. Her husband left on a Fishing Trip so we got together for lunch, conversation and a whole bunch of giggles. We have children the same age and used to live across the road from each other back in 1975. That is a 50 year friendship I am so lucky to have! It was nice to get away for the afternoon...to enjoy the company of a like minded person! We met at a place called Ice Cracking for lunch and a bit of slot machines! No big winners but we still had fun!
The woods are coming to life in the warm weather. The Pin Cherries made their presence known...usually the blooms are frozen so there are no berries...if there are berries they are tiny and although it makes great jelly it takes a lot of berries...and the birds need food too.
Late Thursday night we had a hungry visitor.
One of the Security Cameras caught him ripping down feeders and making a mess.
The feeders were repaired and several were taken in...only a few will remain and be placed in a bucket inside the house overnight. Bear have awfully good memories and he/she will be back. I believe this is just about the earliest we have seen a bear...although one night over a week ago he visited Baxter and Smudge's house and they gave him/her the what for!
It was a day. The high was 79 F or 27 C eh. In the afternoon we had wildfire smoke come down from Canada...I hope they get a good amount of rain up there...we are dry here also.
I brought home a Bacon Double Thunderburger for Far Guy for supper...that and a salad was a perfect end to the day. Far Guy's weight he lost is just not returning as we had hoped. He had another conference with his dietician. He will try to do more high calorie stuff...smoothies...dried fruit...he is supposed to eat 6 times a day...and sometimes he is just not hungry.
